Presenting a Slideshow 
(PowerLite 1220/PowerLite 1260 
Only)
You can use your projector’s Slideshow feature whenever you connect 
a USB device that contains .JPG image files. This lets you quickly and 
easily display individual images, or start a slideshow of all the images 
in a folder. You can control your slideshow using the projector remote 
control.
For an instant PowerPoint presentation, convert your PowerPoint 
slides to individual .JPG files (save as *.jpg) and store them in a folder. 
Copy that folder to a USB flash memory drive (thumb drive), or other 
USB device. Then connect the device to the projector and begin your 
presentation.
You can switch the display from the device displaying the slideshow to 
another source using the 
Source Search button or one of the specific 
Source buttons on the remote control. To return to the Slideshow 
source, press 
Source Search and select USB, or simply press the 
USB button.
Starting a Slideshow
1. Connect a USB device to the projector’s USB TypeA port (see 
page 42).
2. If you are connected to another image source, press the 
USB 
button on the remote control to go to the Slideshow program.
note
You can project .JPG files in 
resolutions up to 
8176 × 6144, with pixel 
counts incrementing in 
multiples of 8.
If a .JPG file is highly 
compressed, your projector 
may not be able to display it 
correctly. The projector can’t 
display progressive .JPG 
files.
You cannot project movie 
files using the Slideshow 
feature.
